Question

What would MOST LIKELY happen if the sun's gravitational pull no longer existed?

A. The planets would start crashing into each other because without the sun gravity would pull all of the planets together.
B. The planets would float off into space because without the sun inertia would no longer exist, and the planets would stop moving
forward.
C. The planets would float off into space because the gravitational force of the sun would no longer be there.
D. The planets would start crashing into each other because the forward motion of inertia would pull them toward each other.

Answer 1

C. The planets would float off into space because the gravitational force of the sun would no longer be there.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this is the answer because a sudden cease in the sun's gravitational pull would cause the planets to continue on a straight path in the direction the sun was pulling them before it ceased to exist.
